Maison Charentaise

Close to a water park, motor boating, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 12-minute drive to Marais Poitevin Regional Nature Park or the 25-minute drive to Chatelaillon-Plage Tourist Office (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax by the heated pool or sip a drink in the garden of this 2691-sq-ft vacation home, which also features a deck or patio and a fitness center. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at table tennis, or enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and stereo.

As you settle into this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and a desk. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and cookware. And because there's a washer and dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
